National Puzzle Day ~ Friday Humor

National Puzzle Day is celebrated in the U.S on the 29th of January yearly. Puzzles challenge our wits, whether crossword, jigsaw, quiz, word search, brainteaser, or Sudoku.


According to studies, solving a jigsaw puzzle requires the activation of both sides of the brain. Additionally, tackling puzzles daily helps with problem-solving, memory, and cognitive function.

Jodi Jill established National Puzzle Day in 2002 to spread her love of puzzles. She created lesson plans specifically for observance as a syndicated newspaper puzzle creator and expert quiz creator, and its popularity has increased every year.

The apparent advantage of word searches and crossword puzzles is that they improve language and vocabulary. Sudoku is a logic puzzle that involves arranging a series of numbers on a grid. This puzzle challenges the brain and can enhance number abilities by putting the user’s memory and logical reasoning to the test.

Puzzles also have positive social effects. These social skills exercise help us get better at interacting with others. Whether we play with our kids or join a group, such encounters keep us socially active and impart social skills to them.

The primary result is that puzzles exercise the brain, keeping it sharp and engaged.

1. A Blonde calls her boyfriend, saying, “Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.”

Her boyfriend asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”

The blonde says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a rooster.”

Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.”

He then takes her hand and says, “Secondly, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then… he said with a deep sigh” …

“Let’s put all these Corn Flakes back in the box.

2. A man is preparing to board a train when he hears that the Pope will also be using that mode of transportation because he wants to try something different. “This is exciting,” the man thinks. “I’ve always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I’ll be able to see him in person.”

Imagine his surprise when the Pope sits down in the seat next to him. But the gentleman was too shy to speak to the Pontiff. Shortly after taking his seat, the Pope began a crossword puzzle.

“This is fantastic,” the man thinks. “I’m good at crosswords. Perhaps he’ll ask me for assistance if the Pope gets stuck.” The Pope immediately turns to the gentleman and says, “Excuse me, but do you know a four-letter word referring to intercourse that ends in ‘k’?”

Only one word leaps to mind. The man feels uncomfortable. “My goodness,” he thinks, “I can’t tell the Pope that. There must be another word.” He thinks for a while, then it hits him, and he says, “I think the word you’re looking for is ‘talk.'”

“Of course,” replies the Pope. “Do you have an eraser?”
